A real image is formed by the intersection of real light rays. The image can be projected on a screen.
Principal Optical AxisC
The Center of Curvature (C) is the center of the sphere from which the mirror is made.
V
The exact center of the mirror is called the Vertex point (V)The distance C-V is called: R (radius)
R
Principal Optical Axis
F
In a concave mirror, parallel light rays get converged (= focused) upon reflection.
C
The reflected light rays intersect at a focal point F, in front of the mirror. Distance F-V is called focal distance: f.

R
f Rule:R = 2f
Principal Axis
F C
The reflected light rays seem to come from a focal point F, behind the mirror. ( = a virtual focal point)
In a convex mirror, parallel light rays get diverged upon reflection.
Rule:R = 2f

Ray 3
Ray 1: From end of object parallel to the PA reflects through the F.
Ray 2: From end of object through F reflects parallel to PARay 3: From end of object through C reflects back on itself

A concave shaving mirror has a focal length of 33 cm. Calculate
the image position of a cologne bottle placed in front of the
mirror at a distance of 93 cm. Calculate the magnification of the
image. Is the image real or virtual? Is the image inverted or
upright?
Solution1) Given: f = + 33 cm (Concave)
p = + 93 cm

The image of a crayon appears to be 23.0 cm behind the surface
of a convex mirror and is 1.70 cm tall. If the mirror’s focal length
is 46.0 cm, how far in front of the mirror is the crayon positioned?
What is the magnification of the image? Is the image virtual or
real? Is the image inverted or upright? How tall is the actual
crayon?
Solution1) Given: q = – 23 cm (virtual image)
h’ = +1.70 cm
f = – 46.0 cm (convex)
